The Weavers - So Long, It's Been Good to Know Yuh Lyrics

Lyrics So Long, It's Been Good to Know Yuh - The Weavers



So long, it′s been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it′s been good to know ya
But a long time since I've been home
And I've gotta be driftin′ along
I′ve sung this song, but I'll sing it again
Of the people I′ve met and the places I've been
Some of the troubles that bothered my mind
And a lot of good people that I′ve left behind, singing
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it′s been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
But a long time since I've been home
And I′ve gotta be driftin′ along
The sweethearts they sat in the dark and they sparked
They hugged and they kissed in that dusty old dark
They sighed and they cried and they hugged and they kissed
But instead of marriage, they talked like this: honey
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it′s been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
But a long time since I′ve been home
And I've gotta be driftin′ along
I went to your family and asked them for you
They all said take her, oh take please do
She can't cook or so and she won't scrub your floor
So I put on my coat, tiptoed down the door, singing
So long, it′s been good to know ya
So long, it′s been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
But a long time since I′ve been home
And I've gotta be driftin′ along
I walked down the street to the grocery store
It was crowded with people both rich and both poor
I asked the man how his butter was sold
He says one pound of butter for two pounds of gold, I said
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it′s been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
But a long time since I've been home
And I′ve gotta be driftin′ along
My telephone rang and it jumped off the wall
That was the preacher makin' a call
He said, "we′re waiting to tie the knot
You're getting married believe it or not"
The church it was jammed and the church it was packed
The pews were crowded from the front to the back
A thousand of friends waiting to kiss my new bride
But I was so anxious I rushed her outside, told ′em
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it′s been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
But a long time since I've been home
And I′ve gotta be driftin′ along
